The echolocation sounds of greater horseshoe bats are very special (note that this is what you hear through a bat detector).

Echolocation allows bats to not only hear sounds, but also to generate them. Male bats sing in ultrasound to attract females, and research shows females prefer more elaborate mating calls. #Echolocation #Bats #Ultrasound #AnimalBehavior #Wildlife | Real Wild

The Bat Monitoring team are running an Introduction To Sound Analysis workshop online on 7 November. As well as species ID we will look at the links between species’ ecology and call characteristics. Big discount on the attendee fee if you are a survey volunteer! https://buff.ly/46MpVkO | Bat Conservation Trust

🦇🌑 The sounds of the night🦇🌑 We use audio devices to identify bat species present across the landscape. Because we can’t hear the squeaks and squawks the bats use for echolocation, these devices pick up the sounds for us. We then run the sound through some nifty software that converts it into a frequency we can hear. The software also visualises and measures the sounds for us. Using these techniques, we can infer different things about the kind of bat that made that call. For example, slow-f
